I worked for him for 4 years and when I told them I'm resigning, the conversation soured when I brought up severance, and I was dismissed immediately and excused from training my successor – but not before letting me know how “generous” they were with a past employee, whom they paid as she transitioned to a new job. But I don't get that luxury after making enough content for them to last the next several years, for some unspoken reason that has never been indicated in a single performance review (I assume, it's for having the audacity to ask for the money, instead of just hoping they'd give me some).
None of the editors are allowed to reach out to me to ask me any questions about the huge backlog of content I created. He's fucked over his team for the next several years, all for a few thousand dollars, meanwhile he's buying up half a small town in the mountains with all the passive revenue he makes from his company on the opposite coast.
